Inspiration

Group Study is an essential asset in any student's life as it solves the following problems

  1. Eliminates Procrastination
  2. Helps you Learn Faster
  3. Fills in gaps in Notes
  4. sharpens Study Skills
  5. Breaks up monotony of studying alone
  6. Hones People skills Put in this pandemic situation the students are really missing this so we thought of making a platform in which we could make a environment in which as if we are watching a educational content together as if we are watching it in a single screen with everyone.

And also we thought that not every teacher is that tech savvy so we thought of making a platform which shall help the teachers to efficiently manage his/her classroom.

What it does

Dynamic Remote interconnected video exchange - for users to easily connect over long distances in a hassle-free manner

A synchronised video player - for every player in the room to view the same video simultaneously to give a feeling of watching a movie together in a room; video platforms currently supported on our app is YouTube, Google Drive , Vimeo.

Built-in chat box in every room with all features necessary for communication among the live audience including: Profile customization, Instant messaging where messages can have statuses (delivered/failed/seen/edited) ,voice messaging, Quick search, Push notifications to the members part of the live audience and Media file transmission

Customized room settings for the users to have an extremely comfortable and personalized experience according to their choice

How I built it

I built it by using html,css for frontend. advanced javascript , Google's cloud service , Firebase for backend . Api which i used while building it- YouTube Data api, YouTube Iframe api Authentication- Firebase authentication, Google cloud console Api Credentials.

Taken Help from - Garuda Hacks Mentors , W3 schools , documentation of api's, and little from Stack Overflow . not to forget the last one cups of coffee☕

Challenges I ran into

While building i ran into many problems. Difficulty in understanding api documentation, to make the video to be played simultaneously in all devices connected to a single room, YouTube data- api search queries quota issues, how to make google drive videos to be played in video tag, about cors & corb problems while using iframe , fetch api, ajax.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

In this 48 hours of hackathon we were able to perfectly code it with help of HTML, CSS and JavaScript

We learned many things about building a tech product

We were able to complete a Minimum Viable Product in this limited time.

What I learned

I learnt how to effectively store data in database . How to not counter with cors & corb problems using iframe & fetch api. About how to extract parameters value from links, how to dynamically create elements and delete them basically got a experience of CRUD. Grasped some deep concepts in firebase realtime database, firebase rules. Quotas of Api's provided by Google.
